Hi!I've a question: how to add additional type of books in "type of book" box?Now the systems supports only "monograph" and "edited volume" types what is very little. We have more types of it in our organization.Thanks!

Note that the "type of book" selector isn't just passive metadata -- it affects the workflow, in that edited volumes serve as collections. If you see some unexpected complexity in the use of that data, this is why.

We talked about this internally and decided that the clearest thing to do would be to change the wording around the "type of book" field to make it clear that it's not a metadata field. See the bug entry and patch here: http://pkp.sfu.ca/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8713

This form field (previously "type of book", now "type of editorial workflow") only affects workflow and was never intended as metadata. For metadata, there are fields available during the submission process that correspond to the Dublin Core set; that's where the type of metadata you were originally wishing to include should go.

The effect of the "type of editorial workflow" is to distinguish the way chapters are handled -- in an edited volume, each chapter is typically by a different author.
